Conclusion 1. Currently 33 out of 38 nuclear units rated 900 MW and over are equipped with low speed turbines. 26 of them are based on ARABELLE technology. 2. Tests of the 1000MW ARABELLE Half-Speed Turbine Plant conducted in the 3 rd power unit at Ling-Ao NPP (China) in 2010 have shown an electric power increase of above 8% versus full-speed double-flow turbine design given the same conditions on-site. 3. According to Alstom/AAEM research, the Customer s extra income in terms of reliability, availability, efficiency and installation and commissioning costs of the ARABELLE equipment versus full-speed equipment would vary in the following range: 360 million per unit at the rate of 25/MWh, or 430 million per unit at the rate of 30/MWh. 4. 2011 agreement is reached to involve AAEM with ARABELLE technology for the participation in new nuclear units to be constructed in Russia and abroad. 5. Basing on Alstom engineering solutions, AAEM adds value to its competence in retrofitting equipment for nuclear power plants in operation. ATOMEX Europe 2011, p. 22
